ne itknouf'n thst i, SAMUEL G. Goss, n citizen or the United States,residing at Chicago,

the county of Cook, State of illinois, have with the several printingmechanisms which compose it so located with reference to euch other andto the folding end delivery rnechenisni that a sufiicient number oirolls of pa.- per to provide for the ordinary night run of such e pressiney be all nionnted upon suitable supports connected with the pressitself in suoli s Way that es soon es one roll is used up the pa eri'ro'ni another roll may be led irnniediateiy into the press without thenecessity of chan fing rollers; 'and in v invention srticularly re stesto e inultiroll Web-periecting press. so. constructed that it may bepractically surrounded by roll-supports ada ted to hold rolls of peperto lie supplied to t ie press es it runs.

That which i consider as new will he set forth in the claims.

in the drawings, Figure l is 4a side-clevetion ci? the press, partlybroken sway to show the arrangement of one oi the printing nicchenisins.Fig. 2 is a dingriiiiiiniitic View of the lower printing ineclisnisiiiexposed to View by the cutting away of the portion of the side ironie ofFig. i.

Referring;r to the drawings, 3 indicates the framework oi' the press,which supports ai.

roliritraine 4, runningn the length oi'" the press.

5 5 indicate rollerlreines, which .are located et each end of t iepress.

The press as shown is what is known s double-entier and is provided withfolding;r and delivery nieclmnisnis (i, located at oppo' site ends ofthe press proper end facing in opposits directions inside illerollerefriiines As shown, the 'framework 3 contains six printingmechanisms, nnirlied, .i'espevtivelig A, B, C, D', E, and F. Theprinting mechanisnis A and i? are located in the hottoin part of theframework 3 and are adapted to lie fed from below, as hereinafterdescribed. The

printing mechanisms E and il are located in the upper part of theframework 3 end toward each end of the press and are adapted to he fed,as hereinafter described, from the rolls at the respective ends of thepress and also from certain oi the rolls located above, as hereinafterdescribed. The printing mech- 4anisiiis C and D are' located in theupper part oi" the framework 3 of the press, between the' printingmechanisms B and it. nach of these printing mechanisms is composed ofthe usual printing-couples, consisting of two `form-cylinders and twoenacting,r impressioncylinders, with the usuel inkiiig mechanism.Referring to press A., and particularly to the diagrammatic view in Fig.2, 7 b indicate inkin mechanisms ol' an)v well-knowii forni anddescription. 9 l() indicate ioriii-cylinders which are inked,respectively, by. the

Referring to Fi 2, one course which the web may take is own in solid`lines and another course in dotted lines. As shown in solid lilies, theweb of peper from the roll 19 passes over roller 13 to the left, underroller 14, het-Ween form-cylinder 9 and impressioncylinder 1l, partlyaround and over impression-cylinder il, upward between forni-cyl iiiderl() and impression-cylinder 12,wliere it receives its second impression,and thence over roller 17 toward the folder on the leithand side of thepress. The course in dotted lines shows the wel) as proceeding from theroll il), partly around rollers 'i3 and i6, upward between fornicylinder l0 and impression cylinder l2, thence over .and parti)v aroundin1prcssioii-cvlinrler 12, thence partially around impression cylinder1i, thence uprferd between inr ression-cylinder il and form-cylinder l)to t ie right of roller i5, over roller i8, whence it may he led away tothe right to the folding and delivery niechaiiisni on the right-handside of the press. it is believed that this description will siit iiceto show the operation of the 1 presses, which, has heen seid, ers posedof the usual two pairs of i'irintingcouples with appropriate hiking omechanisms and so constructed that, by means of Well-lenown rollermechanisms, the Webs inay TOO tical plane and havin their printing-cylinvproduct of which may be directed into cerssese l v between them, theprinting mechanisms in each end of sard frame being 1n the same verdersparallel7 of a longitudinal folding mechanism et cach end of said press'and having its former facing outward toward the end of the press, eroll-supportingfreme at each end of seid preslisyondssid iormers eachadapted to supportsJ plurality of rolls of pepervthe tain of seidprinting mechanisms, a roll-supporting frame above said press adapted tosupport a plurality of rolls of paper the product of which may bedirected Ainto others o said presses, a roll-supporting frame below saidpress adapted to hold e plurali@T of rolls of paper the product ofwbichmay be directed into others of seid presses, and guide-rollers in saidpress-frame adapted to direct the perfected web from either of said)rinting mechanisms into either of seid folding mechanisms,substantially as described.
